Last weekend we went to my family's house to watch my brother play Little League. It's his last year of Little League and it was Opening Day. I was beyond excited to see him play and be the big sister cheering from the sidelines. It was a chilly day but the sun stayed out just long enough for us to be able to see his game.
If you haven't seen me in action on the sidelines, I am worse than our parents. I scream, yell (appropriately) and cheer him on as loudly as possible. I bite my nails and hide my eyes in the Big Man when I can't bear to watch a play. I get so engrossed in the game and so angry when there bad sportsmanship or bad umpire-ing. Last weekend was no exception. I sulked, I yelled, and I cheered as loudly as possible. I figure one day he may not want me to come to his games so I'm taking advantage of it as I can.
It also happened to come about that my brother has a science fair project to complete. I was an A student and he is an A student. Our parents expect that we work our hardest and put the best foot forward.
The brother, with Mom and Dad's help, conducted the experiment but the board to present it was sorely lacking. Read: there was nothing but a board when I saw it the first time
To the rescue......Wonderful Sister and Super (future) Brother-in-law.....
We swooped in to save the day...or at least the project board. The Big Man and I worked with my brother to cut out pictures of onions (his project's subject), glued more paper than we care to think of and made sure to spell check every last word.
Voting took place on Monday and his board was chosen for a prize!!!!! We won't find out what place until Thursday night at a special ceremony but it sure is a good feeling that we did good!
I must say...that's a pretty awesome science board...
